My dad worked for Sears servicing TV's and electronics from sometime in the mid 1950's to sometime in the mid 1960's in Birmingham AL and the last year in Pascagoula MS. He even drove the crappy old Econoline van!
His customer stories were priceless! He opened several roach / mouse infested sets! One lady called the store demanding a new picture tube under warranty, turns out her kid was watchind a western and blasted the bad guy with dads shotgun!
He also told me a story of a nice old lady in Hueytown and he asked her one time "whats with all the junk cars in your yard"? It was Bobby and Donnie Allisons mother!
Before he worked at Sears he worked for the DuMont dealer in Birmingham, once he told me they installed "the biggest g-d set he ever saw" in a swanky nightclub. It was a Royal Soverign! I would love to find that set today, but I'm sure its long gone.
